Launch of new postgraduate journal CURRENTS
28 September | 2pm AEST | 12pm AWST
Currents is a new, collaborative, graduate research journal developed between the University of Western Australia and the Centre of Visual Art, University of Melbourne. The first rolling issue of Currents includes critical and exploratory articles by early career researchers from theatre, film, visual art, art history and theory.
Following on from the proposition what should a peer-review journal for postgraduate students look like, we will also consider how peer-review works in relation to artistic and practice-based research, and what are the benefits and difficulties of an interdisciplinary research platform? Editors Kelly Fliedner and Jeremy Eaton will discuss the formation and publishing approach of Currents, its responsive nature and the approach to digital publication.
This online launch will include an introduction by Danny Butt, readings by contributors Madeline Taylor, Elizabeth Smith and Alex Hedt as well as an opportunity for discussion and response from all in attendance. Via Zoom!
This is an opportunity to celebrate and to discuss emerging research from a broad range of fields. You can find Currents here! We also invite you to take a look at the following platforms that have informed the initial research and development of Currents: Journal for Artistic Research (JAR); MaHKUscript. Journal of Fine Art Research; OAR: The Oxford Artistic and Practice Based Research Platform and VIBE.

Currents acknowledges the traditional owners and ongoing custodians of the land on which this journal is produced—the Boonwurung and Wurundjeri people of the Eastern Kulin Nation and Whadjuk people. We pay our respects to land, ancestors and Elders, and know that education involves working with their guidance to improve the lives of all.
